I loved those avocados! They arrived completely unripe and bright green and turned ripe and black while sitting on my kitchen counter. Of course I ate some of them in salads and on sandwiches, but from the rest I made an avocado soup.

This year, I got lucky again ;) Mimi Holtz whose son Ben started CaliforniaAvocadosDirect.com, sent me six of their avocados and also generously offered to give away one box of the avocados to one of you!!!

This time around I decided to make another simple recipe that makes avocados shine. I combined the creamy avocados with slightly bitter watercress and sweet peas and topped that concoction with spicy shrimp.
